Let You In (also know as 8 REF) is a song by Azealia Banks. The track was written by Banks, and produced by NEWBODY.
Background[]
The track was uploaded to Azealia’s SoundCloud on Tuesday 9th April as part of a ‘Yard Sale’, which was her ridding herself of some old demos. The song is titled ‘ANTI - 8 REF -’ on the SoundCloud page, and appears to be one of the many demos Azealia made for Rihanna for her eighth studio album Anti. However, this was the first demo that included background vocals from Rihanna. The description said: ''R8/"ANTI" 01 - INTRO, R.I.P Keith Flint. ab + newbody, photo by olivia seally''.[1] Two days later an alternate version of was uploaded to SoundCloud by an unofficial account. This version was legitimized by NEWBODY on Twitter. [2] A few weeks later, another version of the song leaked with a very different instrumental. [*]
*Can we get a reference on this or does it need to be deleted? I am only aware of two versions, and those 2 are both appropriately referenced.
Lyrics[]
You are now listening to a Rihanna exclusive
And now that I have your attention
I intend to keep it.
Psychosomatic, addict, insane
Psychosomatic, addict, insane
Fly with me through space and time through the constellations Light your life! Bet the sight’ll leave you starry eyed - in my mind, Imma let you in
Fly with me through space and time through the constellations Light your life! Bet the sight’ll leave you starry eyed - in my mind, Imma let you in
Fly with me through space and time through the constellations Light your life! Bet the sight’ll leave you starry eyed - in my mind, Imma let you in
Wanna let you in
Imma let you in
Imma let you in
Imma let you in
I am so free
I am so free
I am so free
I am so free
So glad to have you here
Fly with me through space and time through the constellations Light your life! Bet the sight’ll leave you starry eyed
I'm so glad that I have you here
That I have you here
Glad that I have you here
My only thing is to find myself and live my live from my heart and my soul and that's the message I want little girls to get from me, I want them to know that that's the only way they'll ever be happy
Gonna let you in
Imma let you in
Gonna let you hear
Gonna let you-
Gonna let you hear
I'm gonna let you hear
I am so free
You can't take it away
I am so free
I am so free, yeah
